Predoctoral Program

The CSU Predoctoral Program each year identifies Sally Casanova Scholars, prospective graduate students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who with a faculty mentor and financial assistance prepare for graduate school during their junior or senior year. Students who are already in Master degree programs also qualify for this program.

Each year CSUCI faculty members have the opportunity to sponsor students as candidates for the award (currently at $3,000). Funded activities include site visits, travel and registration for national or professional meetings and workshops, professsional association memberships, GRE fees including prep course fees and graduate school application fees.

As campus representative for the CSU Predoctoral Program, the Office of Academic Programs and Planning publicizes the program, encourages faculty and student participation, and screens applications each spring.

For more information please contact Stephen Lefevre, Associate Vice President for Academic Programs, at 805-437-8541, or at the CSU website directly.
